This is a single arm upper body strength exercise while challenging lower body static motor control.
Shoulder Packing with FMT
This exercise trains the reflex stabilization of the shoulder.
- Starting Position:
- Supine
While lying flat on your back extend one arm and hold the FMT band with a relaxed shoulder and a relaxed grip. Then simultaneously pull the shoulder blade down toward your lower body and firmly grip the foam on the FMT band. The muscles around the shoulder should create a solid connection between the extended arm and the torso. With a neutral neck and head position, keep maximal distance between the ear and the shoulder.
